Hexen is the superior game in all regards.
However, since it hasn't been mentioned, I'll add that the art design in Hexen is some of the best in any game I can think of. Maybe I'm just echoing the thoughts of my impressionable young mind, but I feel like nothing has ever matched its conveyance of heavy metal grimdark fantasy.
I mean you have similar assets used in Heretic, but something about the way they all fit together doesn't add up the way it does in Hexen. I guess it might have to do with the more minimal and abstract level design of Heretic.
